The Society's 2015 annual meeting will be held October 14-17, 2015 at the Westin in Long Beach, California. The theme for the meeting, on which presentations will be encouraged but not required, is "Ecologies, Encounters, and Enactments."

Prospective participants submit proposals for individual presentations;
proposal submission begins in February and ends March 31. Proposals are
reviewed by a committee of folklorists who live in the region hosting
the meeting. Typically, AFS sends notification of acceptance or
rejection for the meeting program, and posts hotel and tour information around June 1, then posts a
preliminary program schedule for the meeting by July 1.

Preregistration closed on August 31; on-site registration is
available at a higher rate.
